THIS IS YOUR SEASON OF LIBERATION AND GLORIOUS MANIFESTATION

    After Jesus said this, He went on in front of them toward Jerusalem. As He came near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount of olive, He sent two disciples ahead with these instructions: ¡°Go to the village there ahead of you; as you go in, you will find a colt tied up that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If any one asks you why you are untying it, tell him that the master needs it LK19:28-31. (TEV.)

    Life is full of hopes, aspirations, expectations and desires and this is simply an indication of the absence of total satisfaction with life¡¯s condition at any moment.

    According to Pror.13:12, Hope sometimes can be deferred, and when it happens the heart becomes sick. Unless a child of God has spiritual understanding that God works with time and season, the devil will cease the opportunity afforded by the condition of this heart sickness, and degenerates it further into what ¡°I call emotional distress¡± (a condition in which he becomes sleepless and restless) feeling cheated and abandoned by God.

    At this point, discouragement which is Satan¡¯s best weapon against the believer sets in. The book of Eccl.3:1 says ¡°To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven¡±. When somebody understands the purpose of their desire and hope, they are bound to hold on till there is fulfillment.

    The case of this colt which no man has ever ridden that was tied at the entrance of that village is not too far from the cases of many believers in Christ today. The dream or desire of every colt is to see the day a rider will be set upon it. A colt that is old enough to be ridden yet has not a rider will not be happy.

    Added to the frustrations of this colt, was that it was tied: a type of denial of freedom to do whatever it wanted to do and go places it wanted to go on it¡¯s own and of course notice where it was tied ¨C at the entrance of the village or if you like a public square where any body that passed by looked at it and passed comments. Some ridiculed, blamed, and pitied while others were confused about the whole situation.

    However, it is amazingly interesting to see that in spite of all the stuff this colt was passing through, Jesus was keenly watching. Nobody understood the history and condition of this colt better than Jesus. But no matter how it felt and thought and complained, Jesus would not send for it until it was Jesus¡¯ time of glorious and triumphal entry into Jerusalem as king and this is what I call a time and season of glorious manifestation.

    I am talking to you young lady who is long of age to be married and like that colt your dream has been to see that day when the right man will walk into your life as husband.

    I am talking to you young man who is long of age to settle down with a family but lacks the resource and capabilities. What about you beloved couple who have been married for years and your dream and desire to become parents of your own children have not been realized? And you job applicant who has been looking for job for years without one.

    What about you businessman or woman, who has been gasping for the breath of survival? You may have been battling over your health and about to give up. What ever your case is and what ever you¡¯re passing through right now, even though it might seem your hope is being deferred and your heart becoming sick and weary, I challenge you in the name that is exalted above every other name; Jesus Christ of Nazareth not to give up because He is watching.

    If He watched, understood and cared for the colt that was tied and never ridden, He will do same and even more for you. People can only have idea of what you¡¯re passing through but Jesus is the only one who knows what they are and understands how exactly you feel and had programmed you in Him time and season for liberation, glorious and miraculous manifestation.

    You may seem to have been neglected for a while but you¡¯re neither forgotten nor abandoned. Listen to what He says in Isaiah 29:11 ¡°For I know the thought I think toward you, the thought of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end¡±

    Again listen to what He says to you in Isaiah. 49:15 ¡°Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.¡± (KJV)

    In all your afflictions He too is afflicted i.e. to say He is always there with you and for you. Isaiah. 63:9. You might have been stigmatized because of the terrible things you passed through in the public eye and you might be finding it difficult to understand the rationale or justification for such humiliation and degradation but remember all that is about to be relegated to history and to become your triumphant life testimony because Jesus is about to go into Jerusalem as king in your life.

    Shout Amen to that! And all that the devil had done for decades in your life is about to be undone right now and I declare that this is the very day and moment you¡¯ve been waiting for. I see your Angels on the way with flaming swords in their hands to cut of all the chains of limitation and bondage that have been tying you down.

    WHY MUST IT BE NOW?
    It must be now because Jesus will do it for His own glory and His glory is long overdue to be manifested in your life. The very moment Jesus mounted upon that colt His glory and personality eclipsed it and from that moment people ceased to see the colt but Jesus seated upon the throne of its life. That¡¯s exactly what He is doing in your life this moment.

    People shouted and sang ¡°Blessed be the king that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.¡± Jesus received the glory, praise and honour but the colt enjoyed the blessings of a transformed and glorified life.

    It was the colt that marched on the red carpet of palm leaves and precious clothes of the women of Jerusalem. As God is set to do something new in your life, be ready to move from every dunghill to places of honour. Your history cannot be complete until people have red this particular chapter that is unfolding at this moment in your life.

    Though there may be some resistances but God had already provided the answer. Satan and his cohorts may want to ask why you are being untied right now but I hear you Angels answering and saying ¡°The Lord has need of him (you) because your time and season of liberation and glorious manifestation have come.¡±
    Why not shout a miraculous Halleluiah!
